A HANGING IN TWINS.
The Brutal Murderer of an Old Man
Pays the Penalty


ATLANTA, GA, Nov, lS.-Tillman C.
Justice, was hanged in Towns county to-
day for the murder of J, B. Goddard.
Justice spent his confinement at Gaines
vile, where he protested religion, and said
he was willing to die. The Governor was
asked to commute his sentence. The appll'
cation was urged by Frank A. Bleckley, OF
Clayton, brother OF the Chief Justice, but
the Governor declined to interfere.
HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
On Jan. IA, 1887, James B. Goddard, an
old and respectable man of Towns county
was found dead in the woods near a.path
where he usually walked between his house
and one Of his neighboIs, where he had
been the morning before his death. Cir
cumstances pointed to the defendant in this
case and he was arrested. An investigation
showed that Mr. Goddard had been shot in
the face with a shotgun, and then 1t was
plain that his head was beaten up with a
long rock, which was found by his side. The
evidence showed that Tillman G. Justice
had made threats at various times that ne
was going to kill the old man, and the
morning Of the day that Goddard was
found dead. that Justice went to a man by
the name of Rodgers and borrowed shot
gun, stating he wanted to kill some turkeys;
and, after securing the gun, he went on
down the path upon which the old man was
found. In short time the report OF the
gun attracted the attention of the neighbor,
and knowing that Justice had made the
threat TO Kill the old man Goddard
he was alarmed, and sent two of
his sons, telling them that he
was afraid that Justice had met
the old man down there and had killed him.
The boys went Immediately, and found the
deceased, as above stated. Then it was
further shown that Justice went to place
near by, where two young men were work
ing, and told them he had shot one OF the
d biggest sheep that they had ever
seen up there, pointing in the direction OF
the place Of the crime. He got down on his
knees and showed the men how the old
sheep prayed and begged him. Near
the body was found the gun that
Justice borrowed, stuck under a log
From all the circumstances in the case,
the jury found Justice guilty of murder
The trouble between the men, which was
supposed to be the cause Of the murder, was
that Justice was thought to be running q
distillery in the neighborhood, and Mr.. God
dard seemed to be opposed to such violations
of the law He had made some remarks
about it and stated that he wished he knew
who to write to and report the still. After
the verdict of guilty was found Justice CON
fessed the crime, but implicated one of the
principal witnesses as being an accompllce
in the murder, as he had an interest in tue
still and helped to plan the murder

Brazzleton's rendezvous on condition they
would not take their prisoner alive. For,
said he, ''if you don't kill him
HE WILL KILL ME-"
They promised compliance with the condi-
ton, and he then said he would not have
shared in any of the plumber Brazzleton had
taken, but he had given him information
and took him his meals. He had been COM
PEELED to do this, aud believed he would
have been killed If he had done otherwise.
He said he was to take Brazzleton something
to eat that very night, and that IL tney
would accompany him, they could see MIN
and kill him.
The accomplice piloted the party out
about six miles to the southwest OF Tucson

tain gorge where there was heavy grown
of timber His habit was to go TO fallen
tree and wait there for the coming OF Braz-
zleton, who always rode off with his reYol-
yer in hand ready for an emergency Inc
entire posse of six lay down behind the
fallen tree and waited for the coming OF the
great highwayman. He was known per
sonally to the Sheriff and all his deputies.
By aud by they saw him approaching.
He rode out of the thickest brush into a
little opening with a cleaning revolver IN
his right hand, which hung rather care
lessly at his side Those who were there
at the time have told me they hau never
before seen SO superb an equestrian as Braz-
Zeton was

Just come forth from his lair, ready to leap
on his prey But the picture was to endure
for but moment, for at the word of COM
mand by the Sheriff the entire party dellv-
cred their fire, and Brazzleton threw up his
right hand. in vain attempt to shoot, and
rolled off his horse with big holes through
his body. Thus died one Of the most reck-
less and successful robbers of this or any
other age. He was strapped on his horse
and taken down to Tucson, where he was
set up against an adobe wall the next
morning and photographed. L have

M. HALEVY THE AUTHOR.
The Effect of a Frenchnan's Story
About an American Girl.


About an American Girl.
From the London Times.
As for the "Abbe Constantin, :" it has won
for its author various and merited honors.
In the first place it gained him a seat in the
Academy. A lively writer and keen OBJ
server, Halevy had made his mark before
this book appeared, but until then he had
been in a literary partnership with Henri
Meilhac, and they had endowed the French
stage with many sparkling and affecting
plays They created the style to which we
owe ia Belle Helene" "Orphee aux
Enters" and LA Grande Duchesse," which
last piece is having another run of success.
1t was impossible to elect Halevy an
Academician for twin authorship, how
ever brilliant. 1t was still more difficult to
elect him after Lies Petites Cardinal" for
though this fantasy was masterpiece of
its kind, the Academy could not be its spon-
sor. The "Abbe Constantine" however,
opened the doors of the Academy. This
story of rich American girl falling in love
with poor Frenchman was written in ex-
cellent French, and was full of sentiment
and tenderness.
To owe a chair in the Academy to single
book is no common thing, but this is not
all To-day M. Halevy had a twofold sue
cess. This afternoon the public thronged
the Boussot Valadon Galleries to inspect the
water colors with which Nine Madelaine
Lemaire, the eminent flower painter, has
illustrated the "Abbe Constantin." She has
devoted two years to the work, and her
forty illustrations show thorough study of
the text, as well as mastery of execution.

aged 81, who married his 0year old wait

ence became the defendant in divorce
suit, yesterday filed his answer and cross
complaint, asking a divorce on the ground
of cruelty. He denies that he ever locked
his wife up to keep her from running out of
the house, that he ever chased her in the
street in a wild or violent manner or ac-
cused her of acts unbecoming a virtuous
woman. On the contrary, he alleges that
she has treated him cruelty, her familiar
term of address being, "You old chromon

and uncomfortable weakness for pelting
him with peach stones and cherry pits, and
for amusing herself by pulling out
his whiskers, and when he would
expostuate in pain she would lean
back and laugh, saying at the same
time: "See my old chrome" Once, he says,
he caught her in the arms of young man,
